Upwork Customer Insights

1. The other really annoying thing is when you get a notification that you have been invited to a job, go to notifications and, click respond, you are taken out of the app to your browser.

2. Maintaining a good standing where you get promoted with upwork is nearly impossible.Update: as of the last 2 updates, the app doesn't work at all.

3. My account was banned from upwork because I browse jobs but haven't received any recent work on the site.

4. I travel for work, bit if I can't filter between HI, TX and FL it renders the app practically useless unless you have and hours to search 131 pages for the titled position in the area you're willing to work.

5. (My phone is a bit older, though, so that could be causing it.) For anyone getting stuck on the "download client app" screen, uninstalling and then reinstalling the app fixed that for me.This app is very sluggish.

6. I am on the app and I can refresh the page but my messages send 20 minutes late every single time.

7. It also needs to be opened and closed 2x to fully update my messages, even when I have notifications for them all.

8. When scrolling through jobs, if I click on a job posting, the app will freeze for several seconds upon trying to return to the full list of current openings.

9. Great site and company, but this app desperately needs work, it's been like this for a while now.This review is specifically for the app.

10. Loading the app takes several minutes, and then even more time as you click through the tabs.

11. And just recently I've stopped receiving push notifications from the app so I never know when I get a message from a client anymore.
